The Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Island, on Monday, sentenced to death by hanging, Drambi Vandi, the suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police, who murdered Omobolanle Raheem, a Lagos-based lawyer.

Justice Ibironke Harrison sentenced the ASP after finding him guilty of the murder of the pregnant lawyer.
